  When going on vacation, it is very important to make a list about the things you will need.These items include a watch, a hat, a camera, a cell phone, a notebook, a toothbrush and other small items.Make your list a few days in advance and add to it each time you think of another item.When packing, go over your list to make sure everything you have is on it.You may also go into your bathroom to see if there is anything else you will need.This is important as you will have fewer opportunities to buy these items once you set out.

  Putting together a travel toiletry(化妆品)bag in advance is a good way to ensure you have everything you need.Buying travel size items at the grocery store or the drug store is less expensive than replacing full size bottles that you have forgotten to pack when returning from your vacation.

  Bringing a hat along on a ship can help protect you from the sun when on the deck.Most hats are not expensive, so you should be able to find one that you like.Broad-brimmed(宽边的)hats are the best; they offer the most protection.Find one in a bright color and you are easy to be found by your partners.

  Medicine can protect you from the sudden cold or other slight illness.Do remember to pack them.If you don't want to bring the entire bottle with you, buy a travel case with the amount you will need on the vacation.

  All too often people are so excited about their vacation, so they forget the simplest things until it is too late.When making a holiday plan you can't be too careful.If you are well-prepared you will appreciate it once you are settled in your hotel.

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.
